  1. Lecanemab in Singapore: Appropriate use recommendations for early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore 2026-11-04 Treatments

    Lecanemab should only be prescribed for patients with MCI due to AD or mild AD dementia following careful clinical evaluation confirming AD pathology, with caution exercised in patients at increased ARIA risk (e.g. APOEε4 gene carriers).

  2. Updated Italian intersocietal recommendations for the appropriate use of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2026-10-15 Treatments

    With the European authorisation of lecanemab and donanemab, Italy is entering the era of disease-modifying therapy for early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Updated Appropriate Use Criteria for Amyloid and Tau PET: A Report from the Alzheimer's Association and Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Workgroup

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine 2025-06-06 Brain scans and imaging

    For amyloid PET, 7 scenarios were rated as appropriate, 2 as uncertain, and 8 as rarely appropriate.

  4. Appropriate use criteria for lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid testing in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2018-10-10 Tau biomarkers

    In anticipation of the emergence of more reliable CSF analysis platforms, the manuscript offers important guidance to health-care practitioners and suggestions for implementation and future research.

  5. Appropriate use criteria for amyloid PET: a report of the Amyloid Imaging Task Force, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, and the Alzheimer's Association

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine 2013-01-28 Brain scans and imaging

    Positron emission tomography (PET) of brain amyloid β is a technology that is becoming more available, but its clinical utility in medical practice requires careful definition.
